Where is it ok to nap?

edited May 2007 in General
Like, in high school you just couldn't nap, period.

At SFU, I know so many of us do.

Anyways,where are the places where it's fine if people nap, and where are the places where it usually isn't fine?

I once napped in the Bookstore - and the employees there kicked me out (even though there were sofas). Funny thing was that I napped next to a dark-skinned person who looked homeless (he was also napping). The employee told the other person to leave - and only told me to stop napping.

I've napped on residence a few times as well - the CAs usually take issue with that (there are general lounge in the dormitories, and sofas but I guess people need them to watch tv).

I've also napped on the computer lab chairs as well - some people seem to take issue with that - but it's more often than not ignored. The libraries do have sofas on the main floor though - and they're filled with nappers.

The individual department buildings have different informal policies. I've been kicked out in some buildings - and ignored in other buildings. Some of the departments have a particular couch that is often used for napping (usually in the grad lounge but not everyone has access). I've also taken over several comfy chairs in empty classrooms.:teeth:

    yeah i can't nap in public either.
    but now that the sun is out and the weather is getting nicer, i would catch some shut eye on the grassy areas on the AQ.

    otherwise i'd go to the library and brave the smelliness of the carrels...:embarassed:

    God damn, you nap a lot. Anyhow, I nap at work, and in class. They're the only places I can find time to nap in, go figure.

    I love naps, but I dunno about napping at school. I would be afraid that someone would steal my stuff or something. But ive seen tons of people do it in the little study cubicle things....hell, ive seen people just do it in lecture!
